Hi friends! Yesterday, the media reported, that in Japan was discovered the largest in the history of the country treasure. The hoard found in the excavations of the medieval times of the warring States Era (second half of XV – XVI century) in the city of Hasuda. Is a pitcher with a height of 70 cm, in which are 260 000 copper coins. Some of the coins were bound with rope, which is passed through the hole in each coin.
After this news, I wondered, what happens if I find treasure, some of my friends found in the garden old coins, when they were digging in the ground. Surely every country has laws in this regard. When I began to look at information about treasure hunters in my country, it turned out interesting information. People, who search for antiquities and treasure hunt are divided into 4 categories:
Archaeologists - their activities are legalized by obtaining permission;
Search engines - illegal seekers with metal detectors and other search equipment, reporting their findings to archaeologists;
Treasure hunters - avid collectors engaged in studying the archives of antiquities in order to find the treasure;
Black diggers - offenders, destroying the cultural layer protected by law for the purpose of illegal treasure hunting. They sell archaeological treasures stolen in this way from the state, including abroad. Special hazards of nanosat black diggers.
But ordinary people do not belong to these categories. If you find something valuable on your site, you first need to determine. whether it refers to the monuments of history and culture. If the thing, refers - then it's a treasure. In this case, the person is obliged to transfer the found thing to the state. As a reward, a person receives 25% of the value of a thing in cash. If the found thing, which has not of historical and cultural value, it is not a treasure, but a find. In this case you can leave the thing yourself. Now you know, what you will to do, if will find treasure)
Thank you for attention and have a good day!
